As May comes to a close, we want to continue spreading awareness about Lyme Disease and the importance of protecting our pets during tick season. 🐾

With warmer weather comes increased tick activity, making prevention and early detection more important than ever. Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness that can affect dogs of all ages and activity levels, especially those spending time outdoors.

⚠️ Signs to watch for may include:
• Limping or shifting leg lameness
• Swollen or painful joints
• Fever or low energy
• Decreased appetite
• Swollen lymph nodes

🛡️ Ways to help protect your pet:
✔️ Keep your pet on year-round flea & tick prevention
✔️ Ask your veterinarian if the Lyme vaccine is right for your dog
✔️ Perform daily tick checks after walks, hikes, or outdoor play
✔️ Pay close attention to the ears, armpits, groin, and between the toes
✔️ Remove ticks carefully with fine-tipped tweezers if found

If your pet is showing symptoms or you discover an attached tick and have concerns, contact your veterinarian promptly. Early treatment can make a significant difference.

At Westford Veterinary Emergency & Referral Center, we’re here for your pets when they need us most. ❤️
